MONROVIA — The Ministry of Justice has described as appalling the not guilty verdict of Criminal Court “A” of the first judicial Circuit of Montserrado County at the Temple of Justice presided over by Judge A. Blamo Dixon in the 100-million drug bust trial. What more can the joint security and the Justice Ministry do to convince the court that the law was broken” he retorted. The Justice Minister said the ruling has also brought Liberia to international ridicule. Meanwhile, the joint security is now continuing to mount its search for the four men who continue to remain at large. In October last year, a huge consignment of 520-kilograms drugs with a street value of about U.S.$100 million was seized by the Joint Security of Liberia through an international security collaboration involving the American and Brazilian Authorities.
